change text on mouse over and change back on mouse out
I want to have a table that changes itself on mouse over and changes back to the original on mouse out. Here the best I can do:
<html>
<body>
<div id="line1">
<table onmouseover="showMore()" border="1">
<tr>
<td>this is sick</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<script>
function showMore(){
document.getElementById("line1").innerHTML = "<table border='1' onmouseout='showLess()'><tr><td>this is awesome</td></tr></table>";
}
function showLess(){
document.getElementById("line1").innerHTML = "<table border='1' onmouseover='showMore()'><tr><td>this is sick</td></tr></table>";
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
However, sometimes when I move the mouse out, the content inside the still doesn't change back to the original. Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!

Well, you could certainly do it with CSS - http://jsfiddle.net/32HpH/
div#line1 span#a {
display: inline;
}
div#line1:hover span#a {
display: none;
}
div#line1 span#b {
display: none;
}
div#line1:hover span#b {
display: inline;
}<div id="line1">
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>
<span id="a">this is sick</span><span id="b">this is awesome</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
